Dear Ian

I suspect not.  The buoyant market for corn is due to the
demand for crops for biofuel.  I don't see much impact on
the beekeeping industry from that, although here in Europe
the requirement for biodiesel may keep one of our main honey
crops -oilseed rape or canola - high on the list of
rotational crops.
